We went to the Renaissance Fair on Saturday with some friends. Bill and I like to dress up for these things. We felt so out of place in Texas earlier this spring not having our gear with us (well Bill had his kilt). I felt more out of place I guess than he did. So we dressed up this time:

Ok so the smash up title isn't as creative as I would like but hey - it's the best I could do. I think I posted earlier in the week on FB about how I had something going on every night this past week. I did and my weekend wasn't a lot more open! We started Saturday morning at the farmer's market which had grown exponentially since the last time ( Read more... )

I have Weight Watchers tonight, A discussion group on Wednesday night, The symphony with Erik on Thursday night, New Moon on Friday, Trivia Night on Saturday and Mother’s day on Sunday… I think I might need Monday to rest up ( Read more... )

I so totally agree! I don't carry a purse - often. I bring it to work because it has my id in it... but really, why am I even doing that?

We started out on Thursday morning with overcast skies and sprinkles here and there.

My weekend at the farm was a bit shorter than usual - I went down Thursday night, then left work early on Friday to go car shopping for Aubri. We found a few possibilities but will need to bring her back down weekend after this coming one to test drive a few ( Read more... )

Our March came in like a lion so I was expecting it to go out like a lamb... this past weekend wasn't very lambish! Leading up to the weekend the St. Louis area was under a Winter Storm Watch with projected snowfalls for my area of 7 - 11 inches. I had to be down at the property on Saturday during the day and then come home Saturday night so I ( Read more... )

Just a bit of an update on what's going on here at the Jilly-bear ranch and town house. :) Not much more has been happening down at the property - we get these little dry spells during the winter months - well we will until we get that furnace hooked up. We have the thing but we need a licensed contractor to actually hook it up for the warranty ( Read more... )

Snow Day
Actually I didn't get a snow day from work - I can work from home - but it snowed .... a lot!

This was my view on the drive home:
